The Internet Sword Collectors Association (ISCA) is a small group of international sword collectors
and scholars who are actively researching sword related topics. Our goal is to research and
publish new information on sword collecting that is not available in previously published works, or
is out of print. A second purpose, dear to our hearts, is to correct common misconceptions in the
area of sword collecting that have persisted for years due to lack of correct validated information.
Note: Our site has been on the net for 10 years, until Oct. 2008 when AOL deleted all the
contents when they terminated their web hosting service. So we are rebuilding the site at Yahoo.
Please bear with us during the reconstruction.
To support these goals, between our core members we have assembled the largest library of
sword and edged weapon reference books in the world and draw on these in our research.
Currently we are working on books and monographs on several sword related subjects.

Favorite sword inscriptions:
From Bavarian saber ....it rhymes in German ...
" Fur Ehre und Pflicht bis Herz und Klinge Bricht".
Which translates,
"For Honor and Duty Until Heart and Sword Do Break".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is another from a 17. century Polish nobleman's sabre:
"Sam tu starce, sam tu smyki, prosze, prosze, na zraziki"
And translation:
"Come here old ones, come here kids, I invite you to beef-rolades"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally the famous old Spanish inscription ...
NO ME SAQUES SIN RAZON, SO ME ENBAINES SIN HONOR
"Draw me not without reason, sheath me not without honor"
